Myanmar, Syria, Venezuela, Libya and Pakistan are all under one or more forms of US sanctions - yet are on the tariff list. Sorry . . until proven otherwise, there is no other logical explanation for the "friends of Vlad" being excluded except . . . the orange one is also a friend of Vlad.

The history is long and ugly, but here's the short version. The Home Office hates the BMA. UK doctors are frequent participants in judicial reviews, tribunal cases and applications for injunctions against the Home Office. Pesky cases like trying to prevent pregnant women being held in isolation at immigration removal centers or forcibly returning previously tortured refugees to the countries that . . . tortured them. The LAST thing the Home Office is going to encourage is more interaction with the BMA or the NHS.

Just think about it . . the Home Office will take the word of your local publican over your GP. In what world is that normal???

Meanwhile, here in Scotland - where the water supply has always been publicly owned - Scottish Water announced it had received permission for an 8.8% annual increase.

Advertising, political parties and religions. All of them.

I will quote George Washington to explain the why: "However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
